The Cheesecake that started it all! When Vanessa Sherwood posted her White Chocolate-Strawberry Cheesecake on the forum she got everybody salivating and obsessing over cheesecakes, begging for more! This beautiful pink and red creamy sweetness is light on the nuts and fat and as fresh and healthy as can get with cheesecake, and still be rich and delicious.

The Hundred-Year Lie is a book by former Wall Street Journal investigative journalist, Randall Fitzgerald. I came across this book and had to share about it. After I read it I will post a review of the book. What I like about the idea of this book is that it discusses the onslaught and history of the chemical revolution and what it is doing to the health of people, animals and the earth, from the larger time-span perspective.

HADASS KANTOROWICZ is on the fence. â€œI eat less meat than I used to,â€? said Ms. Kantorowicz, a self-described tantric healer who stopped in last week at Organic Avenue, a vegan general store in downtown Manhattan. â€œIâ€™m definitely a lot more conscious than I used to be.â€?

This is a raw, fresh apple pie with a low carb flourless crust. The crust seen in the photo above is not the same crust as the recipe below.

It makes great cookies with dates and nuts mixed together, but I like my crusts a little drier. I use unsoaked almonds for that reason, but you can use soaked.
